Chapter 225: By the Crescent Lake

The last two lines of the poem are derived from the phrase "The saints do not die, but the thieves do not stop!" ’。

The Taoist idea is that the root of the chaos in the world lies in the saints, not in the robbers who rob the house, so it is called: the saints do not die, and the thieves do not stop.

Ye Yu gently stroked the sword body that was exposed to the cold light, and these four lines of poetry were also engraved on it.

At this moment, Ye Yu suddenly understood some truths, and also roughly understood the original intention of Qin Shi Huang to burn books and pit Confucianism.

In addition to the well-known political reasons, perhaps Qin Shi Huang was also influenced by Taoist thought.

In order to seek immortality, Qin Shi Huang believed in Taoist ideas and felt that the root cause of the world's chaos lay in the sage.

In the era of saints, there was a general blind worship of saints.

The saint is perfect and does not make mistakes, so the people always bow down to the saint.

But are saints really perfect? The answer is actually quite obvious!

The emperor called him a saint, but it was the essence of gathering the world's great thieves, not stealing money, but the entire people of the world!

At that time, a hundred schools of thought contended, but Confucianism led the way, and when Confucius was alive, he was called a saint. Although it was not officially canonized, after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the influence of Confucianism was already very deep.

It is enough for him to have Qin Shi Huang and a big thief in the world, how can he tolerate another saint's descendant to disturb the world. Therefore, the reason for burning books and pit books does not seem to be a single political issue now.

In fact, it seems that it is not an exaggeration to call these academic saints who are used to fool the people and help them rule!

The people of the micro end have this thought, which is selfish attachment, called homeopathic survival, and self-benefit; Noble and great people, with this thought, is for public trust and private use, called stealing people's hearts and bewitching the world!

"Childe, it's time to go!" The lone wolf saw that Ye Yu was a little distracted staring at the stone wall, so he kindly reminded him.

"Well, get out of here quickly, or you'll find it hard to leave later!" Ye Yu, who came back to his senses, did not look at the lone wolf, but glanced at Hu Mei'er intentionally or unintentionally.

After saying these words, Ye Yu took the lead towards the stone gate of the original road, and the lone wolf and Hu Mei'er followed closely behind.

When the stone door slowly opened, Ye Yu protected the two of them and walked in front awe-inspiringly, he wanted to try to see if this Heavenly Sword was against the black eagle in the secret passage.

Ye Yu and the three of them reappeared, and the black eagle really rushed towards them again.

Ye Yu put the Wentian Sword across his chest, and when he saw the black eagle coming towards him, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a sword light flashed out of the long sword in the dim secret passage.

Maybe it's the first time to use the Wentian Sword, and it's not too easy to control, because this sword is too heavy!

A sword came, with a strong sword wind, although it passed by, but it cut off a few strands of feathers from the black eagle's wings.

Immediately after that, the black eagle let out a sharp roar, and rushed directly towards the sword in Ye Yu's hand, opening its sharp eagle beak, intending to bite it off alive.

At this time, Ye Yu did not stop it, but obediently let it bite, he just wanted to see if this so-called sword of the Son of Heaven was a divine weapon.

If even a black eagle can't deal with it, then this sick sword is only in vain.

After biting the sword a few times, the black eagle slowly landed on the ground, let out a few mournful sounds, and quietly retreated to the side.

Seeing this, Ye Yu was quite puzzled, and squatted down to stare at the black eagle for a long time.

Although he didn't know what Black Hawk was trying to say, he asked for no reason, "Will you leave here with me?" ”

As soon as Ye Yu finished speaking, the black eagle fluttered its wings and flew to Ye Yu's shoulder without any attack.

Seeing that this black eagle was so humane, Ye Yu saved a lot of trouble. Since this black eagle can fly to the shoulder to show goodwill, it means that it understands what it means.

Then he stood up, holding a torch and slowly passing through the secret passage.

This time there was no danger when I came in, so I found that there were a lot of bones in the corners of the passing.

According to the shape of the bones, Ye Yu knew that it was the remains of an eagle.

It seems that there should have been many black eagles living in this secret passage at that time, otherwise it would not have lasted for thousands of years, and there were still black eagles guarding it.

An eagle has a long lifespan and can be equated with a human lifespan. If it weren't for the many female eagles that hatched their eggs here thousands of years ago, they would not have survived to this day.

But as things stand, the black eagle in this secret passage is on the verge of extinction!

Because in the entire secret passage, there is only this only remaining black eagle, and listening to its chirping sound, it should be a male eagle.

The moment he walked out of the secret passage, Ye Yu somewhat understood the idea of this black eagle.

In the face of an insurmountable blade, this black eagle obviously felt the danger, and this black eagle was a greedy drunkard, and he was somewhat dependent on Ye Yu.

And most importantly, it's the only bird left.

If you think about it from another perspective, it is naturally reasonable......

When Ye Yu and the others passed through the stone gates and floated to the surface from the underground tunnel, the surroundings of the Crescent Lake were still silent.

The three of them swam from the lake to the shore one after another, panting and resting on the shore.

The black hawk shook the water stains on the shore, then leaped into the night sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, why did this guy run away?" Hu Meier was twisting the water stains at the corner of her skirt, and when she saw the black eagle leaping away, she exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Yu smiled: "After many years of silence in the narrow secret passage, now that I can spread my wings, it is natural that I am going to take off and fly thousands of miles......"

"Hmph, if it weren't for Ye Lang's mercy, this black thing would have died in the secret passage a long time ago, how could it be ......, huh? Ye Lang, what are you looking at......"

Hu Mei'er was looking at the night sky where the black eagle was gone, and she was sighing her complaint, but she found that Ye Yu was staring at her chest intently.

Hu Meier, who is wet, has a skirt on her upper body that is close to her skin, which reflects her delicate posture even more, especially the fullness on her chest, which seems to have a feeling of being ready to come out.

"Uh, it's nothing, I just noticed that you have a mosquito on your chest...... There are many mosquitoes in this wilderness...... "Ye Yu was a little shameless to find a reason to prevaricate his behavior.

However, Hu Meier did not stick to Ye Yu as usual, but her beautiful eyes were a little more complicated.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in the quiet valley and surrounded the small crescent lake.

Ye Yu held the sword in one hand and watched the group of people slowly approach. Although the lone wolf has no blade in his hand at the moment, he is still in front of him and loyally protects the master.

After this group of masked people completely controlled the situation, surrounded by masked people, a man in a black robe and a bronze ghost face slowly came to the crescent lake.

The black-robed man came close but did not speak, but stared at Ye Yu for a long time.

In a tense atmosphere, the black-robed man asked a strange question: "Your parents, are they really Ye Mengeng and his wife from Chuzhou?" ”

Ye Yu was a little surprised by the question of this black-robed man.

If it had been three days ago, he would have answered the black-robed man with great certainty, Ye Menggeng and his wife were his biological parents.

But since he found out about it in the woods, he didn't know who his parents were.

Now that this black-robed man is asking like this, he obviously knows some of his own life, otherwise he would not ask this question that everyone knows.

So Ye Yu decided to test it, so he smiled slightly and asked, "Sect Master, what do you think?" ”

"Oh? You actually recognize this ......"

"What's so difficult about this, the Fire Lotus Sect Leader has never shown his true face......"

Ye Yu raised the Wentian Sword in his hand as he spoke, and said solemnly: "And this kind of divine weapon, if the sect leader hands it over to anyone, he won't rest assured!" ”

The black-robed man was wearing a mask, and it was difficult to see the change in his expression, but his words showed a bit of appreciation: "Since you know the intention of this seat tonight, why don't you take the initiative to present this sword and join my Fire Lotus Sect, this seat will definitely not treat you badly, how about it?" ”

Ye Yu didn't respond to the black-robed man's question, but turned his face sideways and looked at Hu Mei'er gently, and asked softly, "Mei'er, do you think I will agree?" ”

"I'm sorry, I ......" Hu Mei'er looked pained at the moment, lowered her head and didn't know how to explain.

"Right Envoy Hu, your mission has been completed, you can come back!" The black-robed man glanced at Hu Mei'er and immediately ordered her to be recalled.

Poof!

After Hu Mei'er struggled for a moment, she immediately knelt on the ground and begged the black-robed man: "My lord, please only take the sword, don't hurt him......"

"You're teaching this to do things?" The black-robed man's voice suddenly became cold, obviously very dissatisfied with Hu Mei'er's request.

"The subordinates don't dare, please be magnanimous!"

"Tonight, this seat only takes the Heavenly Sword, and it won't hurt this person's life, you can rest assured!"

Hu Meier kowtowed very gratefully: "Thank you, my lord!" ”

Then he got up, reluctantly glanced at Ye Yu, and silently returned to the black-robed man's side.

"Ye Yu, as long as you have the sword in your hand today, I hope you don't let this seat do something that goes against your words and deeds!"

"What, is this going to be robbed by the Sect Master?" Ye Yu bypassed the lone wolf in front of him, came to the front with a sword, and looked at the black-robed man.

The black-robed man put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "In this case, do you think you have a choice?" ”

"Why don't you and I have a competition, because Ye really wants to see how this sword is?"

"Oh? Fortunately, I would like to see what is unique about this sword! ”

"Please!"

As soon as the word please came out, Ye Yu had already unsheathed his long sword, and he stabbed directly at the black-robed man with his gossip footwork.

Although Ye Yu was a surprise attack this time, the black-robed man was calm, and he was strolling leisurely when he dealt with it.

And Ye Yu is also the first time since learning swordsmanship, in the swordsmanship, the body is not drunk, the step is not drunk, the heart is not drunk, the spirit is not drunk, and the spirit is not drunk.

The body method is even more pulling, slow as a floating cloud, fast as thunder, rigid and soft, virtual and real are unpredictable.

Although this sword technique is not strong, it has the effect of opening the stele and cracking the stone. Coupled with the sharp blade in hand at the moment, Ye Yu's use of this set of swordsmanship can be said to complement each other.

The black-robed man has a pair of iron-armored gloves, and every move is fierce and abnormal. Although Ye Yu's footwork and moves are flexible and changeable, the black-robed man still has the upper hand with ease.

At this time, the black-robed man made a false move, ready to take the opportunity to seize the Wentian Sword, so he grabbed the body of the Wentian Sword with his hand......
